Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive study on the fractional slot concentrated winding (FSCW) interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) with different pole slot combination for the application of electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). Three motors with the same dimension constraint and rated parameters are designed and optimized. With the optimized motors, winding factors and magnetomotive force (MMF), inductances, torque capacity, constant power speed range (CPSR), the losses, the efficiency, demagnetization capability and vibration are investigated and compared. The comparison results show that 12/8 motor and 12/10 motor have their respective unique advantages while 12/14 motor is not as good as the others.
